iPhone 5s

At a glance

The iPhone 5s introduced the 64-bit A7, M7 motion coprocessor and Home-button Touch ID within the familiar 4-inch metal-body format.

Dates and versions

Announced 2013-09-10; first retail availability 2013-09-20. The date field uses that first retail day, not the announcement.

Launch software was iOS 7, with space grey, gold and silver finishes. Later additions to Apple’s support page are not all launch features; this entry uses confirmed original capabilities. The photograph shows A1457. A1530’s TD-LTE support is labelled separately and must not be applied to A1457.

RAM and labelled battery capacities use the linked physical inspections; Apple does not specify those values in these public sheets. Manufacturer battery-life figures are laboratory maximums, not measurements of an aged handset.
